Hannah's Birthday and other things

So having been reminded (many times) that I have neglected to update the blog for far too long, here's a quick catchup post.  In the last several weeks Hannah celebrated her first birthday and took her first steps, Noah has continued to work on his numbers and letters, we've done a day trip to Lincoln to witness the marriage of Aunt Michelle and Uncle AJ (in which Noah was the non-ring-bearing ring bearer), along with lots of bike rides to parks, zoo trips, mulberry picking, gardening, etc.

Go Fish

Daddy taught Noah Go-Fish today. Since we are learning, we are playing open-handed friendly. He's catching on very fast, but takes the idea of friendly Go-Fish a little far. When he draws a new card and sees that I have a match he proudly exclaims, "Daddy, I picked a card that you have! Would you like it?" Maybe one of these days he will pick up his mother's competitive streak. Also I'd include a picture, but he was being a stink and running away as soon as he saw the camera.

Happy Birthday Noah

Happy 3rd Birthday Noah! We celebrated with a day off for Mommy, a trip to the Science Center and the Library, and Pizza for supper.

Daddy is discovering how many questions he can answer with "because you are 3."

Virginia- Spring 2016

Well... another Virginia trip behind us!  It had it's ups and downs including Dan getting sick, a LONG ride, and a relaxing boat ride... Here are the highlights:

Beautiful wedding on a beautiful day!....This also means family pics :)

 We also hit up the Science Museum in Richmond! They even had TRAINS!

Hannah's 10 month stats

Turns out Hannah is still a growing girl!  She weighed in at just over 17 lb, and measured at 26.5 inches.  She's still crawling and pulling herself up on anything and everything. She'll stand by herself for a few seconds before she drops.

Noah continues to enjoy being a big brother (most of the time), and a "daddy" to his stuffed cow and elephant.

Fun times!

Super bowl weekend... Because the event itself was not exciting

I arranged the flowers mom bought for her church.

And went to two basketball games.

Hannah climbed through the tunnel by herself as church.

Noah is so good in Sunday school!

Fun times!

We went to the zoo and Noah got to pet a hedgehog.

 He's by the fish.

Roar!  

  Ring a round the rosey at the party...
